It looks like this kind of data dump will be a regular thing for Image Comics, and it is worth pointing out that this represents the amount of comic books ordered by comic book stores, rather than the amount they sell, and only represents the direct market of comic book stores served by Lunar Distribution and, indirectly, Diamond Comic Distributors, Diamond UK and Universal. It does not represent bookstore orders, or digital sales.
